AFP: American Family Physician Podcast

The AFP podcast is the audio companion to American Family Physician, the journal published by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Twice a month, faculty and residents from the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix sit down to discuss the key clinical takeaways from each new issue. Episodes run about 15 to 20 minutes, which makes them easy to fit into a commute or a lunch break. The current hosting team for 2025-2026 includes faculty members Steven R. Brown, MD and Jacob Anderson, DO, along with a group of residents who rotate through as co-hosts. This mix of experience levels gives the discussions a practical feel. The residents ask the kinds of questions that reflect real clinical uncertainty, and the faculty bring evidence-based perspective without being preachy about it. Each episode covers article summaries, POEMs (Patient-Oriented Evidence That Matters), practice guidelines, editorials, and clinical inquiries from FPIN. They also weave in interviews with family physicians and occasional Twitter highlights. With around 250 episodes over its ten-year run, the show has quietly become one of the most consistent continuing education resources for family medicine docs. It is not flashy, and it does not try to be. The value is in the steady, reliable delivery of evidence-based content that you can actually use in clinic the next day. For family physicians who want to stay current without drowning in journal articles, this is the podcast equivalent of having a smart colleague summarize the highlights for you.
